"Bookmarks" by Miriam Donohue

An original song I wrote about the shipwreck on Inis Oirr( Aran islands) off the West coast of Ireland. On a stormy night 60 years ago the boat crashed onto the rocks off the island, and the islanders saved all the crew!  heres my version of events!

In 2013 Miriam was featured on TG4 music show Ceol ar an Imeall as an upcoming Irish musician to watch, and chosen by the John Murray show on RTE Radio 1 to play at MetroHerald stage in Castlepalooza. This year she was selected to play in this years Ones To Watch Festival 2014 in Whelans and was featured in the top 5 upcoming Irish acts in the Hotpress Big Break Competition

"On top of the list is Miriam Donohue for sure, originally from Galway came as a pleasant surprise, striking in appearance, her lyrics are similar to Suzanne Vega; she tells stories of island people and boats off the coast of Connemara, of travel and love against a backdrop of her lovely plucking guitar style complimented by her smoky voice. Her last song we clicked along like her professional percussionists, nice touch Miriam -interactive and we loved it!"

" 'Bookmarks' represent's an artist who's at the beginning of a very long career. If the huge success of Laura Marling and the current love for Lucy Rose proves anything it's that there's a market for the music of Miriam Donohue and I wish her every success for 'Bookmarks' and beyond. "
